Buena ubicación aunque no esté en el centro, muy recomendable
Pros:

Las vistas de la habitación, la cama que era enorme y el entorno que era precioso. Alquilaban bicis para poder desplazarte.

Cons:

Que no tuviera aire acondicionado, aunque no siempre haga calor, cuando lo hace es imposible descansar en la habitación. Las cristaleras hacían que entrara muchísimo calor

Quirky option in interesting location
Pros:

Interesting location in an up-and-coming area:
- City beach and park on doorstep
- Nice city views
- Good restaurants nearby
Lovely and very helpful staff
Big (but quirky) room
Comfortable bed
Good housekeeping
Nice restaurant onsite
Very relaxed atmosphere

Cons:

No air-conditioning, room got very hot in the afternoon. North and east facing rooms do not have this issue but do not have any views.
Bathroom contains shower and toilet, the sink is separate in the bedroom.
Location not ideal if you plan to use public transport extensively. The closest stop with regular services is 10 mins away.

For a relaxing city break.
Pros:

It was wonderful to return here again after a previous visit in 2022. Still the same stylish but relaxed vibe. A nice surprise that particular weekend was the Homeland Brewery music festival nearby.

Had a super evening meal in the hotel restaurant and enjoyed our breakfasts too. Helpful and friendly personnel. Walk from Central Station takes 20 minutes. Did this with luggage. No problem. Can't wait to stay here again.

Cons:

All was good.

Ich weiß, warum ich immer wieder komme...
Pros:

Die Lage ist kaum zu übertreffen! Man kann quasi von der Frühstücksterrasse aus in das Hafen-Schwimmbecken springen..., oder abends noch lange die schimmernden Lichter Amsterdam im Wasser betrachten.
Das Personal ist sehr sympathisch und freundlich und die Einrichtung kreativ und schön.
Ich war schon mehrmals hier und komme immer gerne wieder!

Cons:

Es war sehr sehr heiß in unserem Zimmer und der Aufzug ist einmal stecken geblieben mit uns drin. Aber glücklicherweise wurde das sehr schnell behoben.
